Is the BA Frosted Frog worth the $15 price tag? I have two normal Frosted Frogs for Christmas.

I haven't had the regular frosted frog so I am not sure. It would be interesting to taste them side by side. $15 is quite a bit but I am always impressed with their barrel aged beers.... Despite the terrible name and awful logos haha this one was fantastic in my book. Only other ones is say beat it are Highland Cold Mountain or Mikkeller Santa little helper but they aren't barrel aged.

i texted my brother tonight to see what he wanted to pop open on Xmas day as i am hosting the dinner....he responds with "i quit drinking." ironic thing was i traded a shitton of good beers for a bottle of CBS to give tohm as a christmas gift...now he will not even be home for Christmas (will be traveling). either way, i plan on popping some pretty tasty beers for myself...probably a corsendonk xmas ale (vintage 2011), hoppin frog xmas ale (2011...drank one of these two weeks ago and the taste is still strong...very good)...then probably get into a couple BA stouts after dinner while everyone is drinking coffee (maybe some fresh wake n bake if it ever arrives!!).

So I'm thinking of picking up a large-ish bottle of something special for christmas. Not necessarily a christmas ale per se, but a big 12-20 dollar bottle of beer to treat myself for christmas. What should I pick up a bottle of?

My plan is for a BCS on Christmas Eve as I finish putting together my son toys. Probably some champagne on Christmas morning with the wife to go with breakfast, then who knows that night when we get home from visiting relatives.

heres where i am at so far...HF Arthur, Anna, and Susan.
not a bad start
plan to pick up some celebration and an avec les Bon vouex (OP - you should be able to find either relatively easyily) at the local bottle shop and see what I can add for the darker/stout end of the spectrum.
oh and my brother will be ariving from southern Cali toting Pliny the elder and various other surprises.
should be a good holiday.

We are doing a partial celebration tonight. My brother just shot me a text saying "bring your snifter" with a pic of a KBS, CW Barleywine, and BB4D. I will probably bring along a Big Bad Baptist and some BBPT5 myself.

Never dropped that much on a big bottle of beer. So many great local brewers in Bucks Co. PA area I feel it's not necessary.
But if I did, I always wanted to try anything Chimay. Belgians do have a winter warming quality for sure.
